Not gold but man build nation
HArd work is the keyy to success.. a nation can feel pride if its people r hard working and are full of love for there nation, xx

A Nations Strength
Not gold, but only men can make,
A people great and strong.
Men who, for truth and honour's sake,
Stand fast and suffer long

Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly,
They build a nation's pillars deep,
And lift them to the sky

I'd like to say to those who think money is more important, "Think clearly".

Not gold but only men can make

A people great and strong;

Men who for truth and honor’s sake

Stand fast and suffer long.

Brave men who work while others sleep

Who dare while others fly—

They build a nation’s pillars deep,

And lift them to the sky. — Ralph Waldo Emmerson

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.

—Henry David Thoreau

We do not commonly find men of superior sense amongst those of the highest riches.

— Euripides

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. . . Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” –June 12th 2005, Steve Jobs commencement address at Stanford University

    What is the measure of a rich man? Is it his material possessions, the extent of his spirituality, or is it how he chooses to share his wealth with others, whether it is material or spiritual? Are we really our "brother's keeper" or are we keepers of only our own wants and desires? These are all questions posed by Tobias Wolff in his short story, "The Rich Brother." However, he provides an underlying answer to these questions. Is Pete really the richer brother because he has more material possessions? Wolff leads the reader to believe that this statement is not accurate. Although Pete has more money and material possessions than his brother, Donald is truly the richer brother because of his spiritual insight and the care he exhibits toward Pete. Money alone is not the measure of a rich man. Wolff conveys this message through Pete's values, his attitude toward Donald, and through religious symbolism.…

    A lot of times people think of money as a good thing, but really it corrupts. Jonathan Swift had said“A wise person should have money in their head, but not in their heart.” When people gain a lot of wealth most of the time the start to look down on people but in the end it doesn't matter because we all end up the same. Dead. “We all gonna die, we bleed from similar veins.” Tupac Shakur explains this perfectly, no matter who we are we’re going to die because we are the same, human beings. The Great Gatsby by F.

    Rich Wont Tell You

    When it comes to talking about earnings and expenditures many are rather private about it. We tend to assume most people who choose not to mention it, are those who are struggling and on the other hand, those who do have money to spend, are more open and tend to brag about it . Yet the odd thing is that according to Rachel Sherman from the New York Times in her article, “What The Rich Won’t Tell You”, she states that rich people aren’t always what we think they are. Discovering that they were not what society typically projects them to be, that they are not all snobby or extremely zealous about their wealth. This connects to how our prejudices and stereotypes are what influence us to believe how certain people act, creating this hate towards…

    In society, money and wealth have many diverse effects regarding to personal integrity, and within writing, copious amounts of literary devices can present various ways to show many relationships between what money can do to personal ethics. Between the pages of the novel Tortilla Curtain, written by T.C Boyle, figurative language and irony convey that when a person has an abundant amount of wealth, the more likely they tend to change their personal morals and ethics to fit what the society thinks is right. In the pages of the novel The House of Mirth, written by Edith Wharton, the point-of-view and diction help show when a person is less than financially successful, the desire for more money leads them to acquire the morals of what the society as a whole thinks.…
